LOL! Good show Timber. Blather on you say, fair enough your entitled to your opinions too in my book, even when they are at my expense.
But, you are of course on to something, though, not what you may be thinking you are. I can articulate more than fine about my reasoning for backing members' of the NRA, I gave a sorry example of it already (sorry in the sense of how others think about trust for instance). That actually says volumes Timber, and I'm not even an NRA member! Although, the more goofy reaction from the left I hear, the more it makes sense to join. Personally, I will always trust someone fathoms more, who says you have the right to do something, more than someone who says they want to do something *for* me. How's that for "blather"?
Emotion does in fact come into play in this debate Timber. The Alzheimer thing hits very close to home in several instances. Not to mention the local chapter is a customer of mine, and a benificiary of my yearly charitable contributions/time. In addition, I know a great many people who *ARE* members of the NRA, and to date, I know of NONE, that even *remotely* come close to the espoused definement by the, "know absolutely nothing about the issue" left. Talking about emotion versus intelligence, well now Timber, the proof is in the pudding (as again, given by examples in a previous post about trust).
Comments like those of Clooney's, aren't the exception, they're the rule from *that* crowd. So, if I am so unclear about *my* stance on the NRA, please tell me why the left fears that group so much? Could it be, that they have no talons sunk into it, thus no control over the membership at all?
:edit: TL, just read your comments about not getting into the debate again. Your additional comments are RIGHT ON THE MONEY about groups etc. IMO.
